The new MBP 15" is gonna be my first Mac product, can't wait is an understatement
SHIP THAT **** TIM
If it'll be more expensive, then they'll keep the current gens and keep the pricing or drop it slightly. Similar to when they were fazing out the cMBPs with the rMBPs.

Going to be bunch crap if ask me. 4 USB-C and 3.5 headphone jack, as pictured above.
If you buy the new iPhone 7 and have their new lightning port headphones. You will need a Lightning to USB-C adapter to use their new products together. The adapter they provide with iPhone 7 wont work; you will require an additional adapter.
WTF? If you release two new products in same year and only months apart they both need to support the same technologies.
Not to mention we will be required to sync iPhone via WiFI and unable to plug phones into MBP to charge natively.
I hope not. I have student programs and those computers are the only ones we can really afford. Also they are easy to move in bulk.I am curious if Apple will kill the Mac Pro and Mac Mini. I can see them saying that because nobody purchases those anymore (due to the lack of updates.. Apple), then that is the reason why they will stop shipping those products.
A spec upgrade w/o any of the gimmicky touch bar BS or removal of the MagSafe, headphone jack, SD slot, sounds perfect to me.
3-4 TB3/USB-C ports, SD slot, headphone jack, MagSafe, BTO options for 2TB SSD, 32GB ram, and God willing decent dGPU, and I'm happy.
Hell, go back to the non-retina 2012 form-factor with more serviceability/upgradability, and I'm running down main street naked, cheering!

What they really needed to do was to retire Lightning in favour of USB-C.. But that would require.. courage?![]()
So you want a Core m-based MacBook Pro? The best Kaby Lake processor out there is the 15W, which would be suitable for an updated Air but likely only for a base model 13" Pro.I really hope it's kaby lake.
If it's gonna have 4 USB-C ports and a headphone jack only, than it absolutely won't deserve the "Pro" tag...
Everyone prepare for #USBGate, #SDCardGate, #MagSafeGate and #HDMIGate…
There are plenty of docks out there with all of those ports. Plus a native USB-C to HDMI adapter spec is in the works.Except it will only have USC-C ports, and no HDMI nor will it have USB-A. Will see what Timmy releases but Timmy has released some pretty lame stuff lately.
MagSafe has been the best thing EVER for laptops. Why on earth would they remove this?!?!

but the 15W processors apple usually uses in the MacBook Air are not available yet either.So you want a Core m-based MacBook Pro? The best Kaby Lake processor out there is the 15W, which would be suitable for an updated Air but likely only for a base model 13" Pro.
That's because Intel hasn't been increasing speed. 2.4GHz - 3.7GHz is where they have been at for a couple of generations now. Their focus has been smaller and more transistors, so that they don't need to increase the clock speed, and power usage. Better transistors = clock speeds don't need to increase = less power draw = less heat.Really tempted to upgrade to a new iMac. Hopefully the specs are decent compared to my mid-2012 rMBP. I feel like Intel hasn't been increasing speed very much the past few years.
